The bit about the ISOs was kind of thrown in though huh

I just saw Black Swan tonight. Best movie I've seen since... "Moon", I guess. (Which also had a Clint Mansell soundtrack. Hmmmm.)

Black Swan was pretty good but it was a lot better the first time I saw it when it was called Perfect Blue.

It's been a while since I saw Perfect Blue, but I don't remember Perfect Blue having a score partially by Tchaikovsky and partially by Clint Mansell working off Tchaikovsky.

I'm still pissed my friend destroyed my Perfect Blue DVD before I even had a chance to watch it.

Winter's Bone for Best Picture.

You heard it here first.

I saw TRON again.

I may see it a third time.

Another perk of working in a theater: saw the Black Swan's Coda twice more last night. Just the coda. That was enough.

'Valhalla Rising' Trailer HD

Whoa, never heard of this before today. WTF?

Saw True Grit and Green Hornet last night.

True Grit, had it been released any other time of year, would have been the best damn thing in the theater. But it can't compete with Oscar-bait season for mass appeal or unreasonable levels of cinematic excellence; Black Swan is superb, whereas True Grit is "merely" excellent.

Green Hornet is very fun. It's very self aware ("What do you mean, I'm not scary? I have a gun with two barrels! Do you know how much that cost to make?") and in no way takes itself seriously; also, the action is excellent. I was forced to see it in 3D; happily, it actually uses the 3D rather well, and I ultimately didn't mind. (Especially the end credits.)

That makes Green Hornet sound a lot better than I'd expected. The trailer gave you a little cause for hope, but you never want to hang anything on the trailer.

Still, it's Seth Rogen. His filmography has already pigeonholed him as a stoner manchild.

I can't stand Seth Rogan's films for the most part, but that wouldn't necessarily keep me away from Green Hornet. It'd be genuinely refreshing to see a remake that really didn't try to take itself very seriously.

Büge · « **Reply #695 on:** January 15, 2011, 09:34:29 AM »

But that was part of the charm of the TV Green Hornet. It took itself seriously and was made all the more fun for it. The moment you start playing up the campy elements, or admitting that Kato was the one doing pretty much all the work, is the moment you lose.

Mongrel · « **Reply #696 on:** January 15, 2011, 12:10:54 PM »

Thundercats also took itself seriously.

Besides, the original Kato worked, because he was played by Bruce Fucking Lee.

Büge · « **Reply #697 on:** January 15, 2011, 01:00:37 PM »

Legend has it that during the Green Hornet/Batman crossover, the producers wanted Kato to lose to Robin in a fight. Lee basically told them that if he was going to fight, Kato was going to murder Robin, end of story. The producers compromised with a "hey, why are we fighting?" moment instead.

Does it count if it's a running joke that Rogen is totally oblivious to how much more important Kato is than him?
